As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m participating in NaNoWriMo, and we’re on the final stretch, with November 30 just around the corner.

Yesterday, I entered my word count at 45,785 (with a 50,000 word goal); today I plan to add some more. I’m very excited about this challenge, and so far (knock wood!), I haven’t lost interest in my story, which is crucial for avoiding that writer’s bugaboo—writer’s block!

Sounds like all is going well with your writing and you will reach your goal. All of your books sounds interesting, but especially SWEET CAROLINE. For someone who has been in the spotlight all of her life, she is a truly remarkable lady.

I’m excited about it, Harvee…so far, I’m still enjoying my story, which is crucial for me. I have two other WIPs that I lost interest in after I almost finished. But I’m sure I’ll go back to them. Sometimes, all it takes is a break.

Congratulations with that large word count. I can’t imagine how you stuck with it so long. I’ll bet your insides feel very happy.
I would love to read about Caroline. I remember so clearly that awful day when she lost her father. Heartbreaking. Now she is a charming woman whom we see and think of as shy. I wanted her to get the seat in the senate. It didn’t happen. Once there I think she would have been a credit to New York. Love your Word Press blog. I’m still fiddling around.

Thanks, lemon123…I think it’s important to have an incentive. When I wrote my first five novels, the only incentive I needed was to tell my stories…it gets harder after awhile, though, so the challenges are very useful.

Thanks, Alyce…after finishing up my 3,000 + words this morning, I went back and did another 2,500 +, bringing my total to 51,374. So I guess I’m done, but I’ll keep plugging along until time to upload for the word counts, since the “novel” isn’t done, in my opinion.
